It's easy to remember, fast, works across all containers and all frameworks. Not everyone has the luxury of working with a single framework, even one as awesome as Stripes. It is not uncommon to have mixed code too, especially if you have a considerable array of ready-made servlets and filters to work from. Not everything needs to be always written from ground up using whichever framework happens to be the word-du-jour.
